You are right, no public access to the neat secret spots over there...and garibaldis do swim at the base of the riprap. I heard that they raise baby white seabass in tanks over there. Also read somewhere that the farm floats heaps of mussel strands out in the lagoon, and each strand weighs tons. I harvest mussel for myself from the jetties, mostly use it as bait for perch though.

I just wrote about them on my site as well and want to take a trip down very soon. At the Stone Bistro, do they serve the oysters raw or in some cooked manner? Thanks. Thanks for the posting.
